Hi Experts,

I have a basic knowledge of network and need some help.

I need to connect 4 Floor Building with 4 Cisco 2960 - 48 ports switch each other and it needs to be through a fiber. So all PCs connected to each switch would reach the LAN/WAN from the other switch. (attached is the image here with)

I see that the 2960 has 2 SFP ports each port of each switch should connect each other or how?

My simple question is:

1. What cable / patch code I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode? ( distance for each switch will not more then 25 mts)

2. Do I have to use SFP or SFP+ module?

3. What kind of SFP/SFP+ module I have to use = Single-mode or Multimode?

4. What kind of connector should patch code have = LC / SC or ?

5. How to connect each switch with redundancy like ...each switch should be interconnected with each other or I have to choose Cisco

3750G which has more then 2  SFP ports (option#1 & opetion#2 = attached here with) = Kindly advice..

Kindly advice the best practise for connecting cisco switches over fiber.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance..
